Nope i feel just fine... But why in the world would you ruin one of the best brake setups with POS AutoZone pads. But then again when you have to brake hard and they fade on you like no other dont complain....

No fade at all during my use. i have installed hundreds of brake pad sets(many duralast) and never have I had a come back or complaint from a single customer. I will admit that if I was racing I would be using a more performance pad......BUT THIS IS A CHEVY STATION WAGON. I don't need your performance advise nor your abrasive attitude. I used to enjoy this site but now I am way turned off. You made a mistake by attacking me as a "failure in life" based on my choice of brake pad when you don't know me from Adam. You're a little out of touch. You're driving a w a g o n not a track ready porsche or ferrari. A fun, inexpensive and unique car, yes, but a serious sports car, no. Believe me, I've made a good living as a mechanic for 30 years, raised 4 kids and paid off my suburbia home. It's a classic two box design, a WAGON......lighten up.......done with you.

Interesting statements, and frankly, I agree. Many owners need to realize, as you indicate, this is a uniquely styled ECONOMY vehicle.

Stick around, I think you will find MOST are in support of your decision (after all, it IS YOUR CAR). But the situation does beg for the question....Why did you have Brembo's in the first place?
